Mac doesn't display when powering on

Everytime I power on my Mac mini, my monitor doesn't display the Apple logo, it is black. Then after a while, It shows the desktop. Can there be something wrong with my system?
My monitor is connected with a mini display port to a VGA adapter on a VGA monitor? The monitor is a dell 1704FPT

Try resetting the SMC. Info here:

Be sure to perform the proper procedure for your specific Mac.

Outlook Web Access doesn't display when in a Page

Hi guys,
I have set up an IView to access Outlook Webmail, as per the normal help documents, and the IView works perfectly - displays my Inbox and everything. If I add the IView into a workset, users are able to view their Inbox too.
However, If I create a Page and put the IView on that page, the Inbox no longer displays - it just has a blank window where the Inbox should appear. Right-clicking on the blank page and going to Properties, I can see that its going to the correct web address.
My question is, why doesn't the Inbox display when the IView is in a Page?
Thanks,
Michael.
PS, Here's something unusual... In Content Administration --> Portal Content, when I right-click on the Page and choose "preview" it displays the Inbox properly. However, it doesn't display when its accessed from a Workset.

Yes, I have added the Page to the Workset, and also the IView to the Page.
If I set up a temporary workset, And assign the 2 objects to it (the IView and the Page), they appear as links at the top of my Portal. When I click the link assigned to the IView, the Inbox is shown. When I click the link assigned to the Page, it only shows a blank window instead of the Inbox.

FF 4 (mac) doesn't display handcursor in all Flash websites. Also all html websites show strange behaviour with cursor. (blinking cursor in nearby div after clicking a button)

I'm running Mac OS 10.6
FF4 doesn't display the hand cursor or type cursor in '''all''' flash websites on links/textfieldss when it should. Highly annoying and disgracing all flashcontent.
Also with html websites I experienced strange cursor behaviour with FF4. Although it's hard to reproduce the problem. It's very inconsistent.
I have the feeling in general FF4 should look into it's cursor behaviour on all possible platforms. Mainly Flash.

I replicated the typing cursor problem on the popular FB. Just click e.g. "x people like this", you'll see you get a blinking type cursor in the "close" button.

Table style doesn't display when viewed or when project is published

I'm running RH8 (with RH8 Server). The table style no longer displays when viewed or when published. I checked the table style of the same project (but older version) and the styles to me looked the same. It displayed fine last week (famous last words), but this week something changed. Can anyone help?
The tablegradient.jpg can be seen in the project (image A), but when I view (eyeglasses), or if I open a published project, it doesn’t (image B).

Image B

I really do not know what has caused this but in your situation I would be looking at the CSS for the table now and when it worked.
After that I would probably create a new project and create the same setup afresh. That can often identify the cause of problems like this.
Sorry I don't have anything more constructive.

Custom ContextMenu doesn't display when using hand cursor

I have created a custom ContextMenu, which displays when
right-clicking on the Canvas. If I am showing the hand/pointer
cursor using the code below, and then right-click, the custom
ContextMenu is not displayed. Is this a known issue in Flex 3 or is
there a workaround/fix? Any help is always much appreciated.

Make sure you haven't inadvertently set mouseEvents to false.

Brand new Mac mini ONLY displays when waking from sleep

Have an unusual problem.
Brand new 2011 Mac mini. Turn it on, and I do not get the grey Apple logo screen or normal spinning cog. Light comes on as normal, and chime chimes as normal. I've tried three different monitors now and I never get a display, unless I put the mini to sleep with the power button in back, then wake it with a keyboard key stroke, the display turns on and works as normal.
As of 20 Sep 2011, I've got all the software and EFI updates installed. I've also reset the PMU, SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM to no avail.
Thanks.

Yes, sure did. Tried different cables and Thunderbolt to video adapters. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm using VGA. Originally tried it about a week ago with DVI and it worked ok. The problem is the monitor we're using in our classroom doesn't support DVI or HDMI.

Mac doesn't display correctly on a TV

My friend has this problem:
The postman brought a new lead to connect my Mac to the TV (having bought the wrong adapter in the first place and got the Mackuna one by accident), so we got everything linked up ready to go, found the right channel on the TV etc. etc. adjusted the display on the Mac to the right resolution, pressed play on the download ... and noticed that the TV only plays it if I move it off the right-hand side of the computer screen! How can that be? I mean it's watchable and the mouse pointer is there too, but how can that be right?! If you put the computer next to the TV the picture joins up like one long computer screen! So you can have it playing half on the TV and half on the computer!! You can move it around like that too! I mean it can't be designed to only play on the TV if you drag it right off your computer screen? Can it?
Any thoughts anyone? (I'm not sure which Mac she has)

Everything that you've mentioned sounds correct for Extended Mode viewing. Yes you can drag the application completely off the Mac screen to the TV and resize it to fit.
You could make the TV the primary screen by going to System Preferences/Displays/Arrangement and dragging the white bar from the small monitor to the larger monitor. This way, the opposite will occur... you drag applications from the TV to the MacBook when you want to.
Another option would be viewing in [Closed Clamshell Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131?viewlocale=en_US] so that the TV becomes the only screen.

A505-S6025 has no display when powering on (Solved)

The other night I had my computer set up to an external monitor via HDMI. The display setting were set up as an extended screen so my friend could watch a program while I was working on other things. We let the battery die after the program was over because I had forgotten my charger. Upon plugging my laptop back in I powered it on. There was no display. The lights for the media controls light up but that's it. The fan runs, the cd drive I can hear trying to start up but that's it. The hard drive light flicks on when I pressed the power button but after that remains off. I tried to hook up my friends external screen to my laptop again but both screens are blank. I remove the power cable, turned off the laptop, took out the battery, held the power button, plugged the power cord in, and still no results. I did those steps again even plugging the battery back in before the power and still nothing. The laptop had been working just fine before hand. I let the laptop sit turned off and charging over night and this didn't resolve it either. I'm all out of ideas and I'm over seas on deployment and really have no way of getting it serviced. Any help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the solution to this issue this morning. I took a good look over my laptop and thank goodness I had the schooling on how to do all this. I took out the hard drive, powered on the laptop and immediately the display came up. It then gave the error "no bootable device" which I knew was going to show since i had removed the hard drive. I turned off the computer, reconnected the hard drive, and now it works just fine. I just wonder who in the world designed the laptop to be fixed like that. It was ridiculous! Luckily enough I had a mini screwdriver set in my workshop or I would've been stuck...

About This Mac doesn't display system serial number!

Hello. I've had this for a couple of months now and it wasn't up to now that it really started worrying me.
Just a month after I bought my MacBook, I had to send it in for repairs (logic board fried... in one month!) and after I received it, I noticed something strange. When I open  > About This Mac and look for my serial number... it just... doesn't show any. It shows either SystemSerumb or SystemSerialNumb. Why? How? What?
How can I write down my computer's serial number as it's supposed to be written? I know the number: I have it on the laptop's box and "under" the battery, so I won't write it wrong...
Help!

There is no need to be concerned as software does not ask for serial numbers.
Software may look at existing hardware as CPU type or RAM or Disk space as well as OS version, previous installation, possible registration, but not the serial number.
Technically, a serial number is more a software designation of the hardware, not hardware itself.

Running total in group header doesn't display when it's at page bottom

Post Author: Charles Denight
CA Forum: Formula
Hi, Using v.9 of Crystal Reports I've created some running totals using a cross-tab workaround to get the running totals into the group headers, but when the group header falls at the bottom of the page then the running total doesn't show up.Would appreciate knowing why and how to fix this.

Replacing an item that is malfunctioning because of a manufacturing error is the bare minimum I would expect from customer service for any electronics item.
The thing Apple does extremely well is their flat fee policy for repairs on their computers.
I managed to break my MacBook pretty seriously (logic board needed to be replaced) and I'm sure it cost them more to repair the unit than the $328 they charged me.
I probably would have been angry if it was something minor, but I'm guessing that most repairs to screens/motherboards/etc cost more than their flat fees.

Printer Software doesn't display when installing in Win 8

Hello
I have a very frustrating issue which means I can not install the printer software for my HP Plus B209a Printer.
When I try and run the installer for the full package installation it extracts the files as normal to a temp location.
Then the HP Installer (32bit) runs but in the background and does not display anything on screen. I just uses 15% CPU in task manager but no installation windows?
To give some background to this issue
(The first time I ran the installer software it did load but hanged on the detecting printer stage 1. So I restarted the laptop and tried to run again but this happened.)
I have updated windows to 8.1 and all updates are installed. I have tried disabling all startup programs etc.. to no avail.
Please could someone help with this issue as I can not scan with the printer until I can get this installed.
Kind Regards

HT1338 My "Notes" application on my Mac doesn't respond when I open it.

A day ago, I was looking up something on spotlight and saw a peculiar entry from notes I thought I deleted. I clicked on it and a small box with the note in it appeared. It stopped resonding when I tried to edit the text or close it or anything. Now everytime I open notes, that same little note box(not the full sized one) comes up and doesn't respond. Every single time I open notes. I am forced to "force quit" every time. I have tried restarting, shutting down, nothing sems to work. Please help. This is getting very frustrating very quickly.

I wrote this "User Tip" to deal with reparing Notes accounts, not notes themselves per se.
But if you either keep all the notes you want in iCloud, or have no notes worth saving and only want to repair the application, this tip may help.
I do not recommend using this tip if you have notes in the Notes app that are not in iCloud but that you need to keep.

IPod art doesn't display when phone is off with 4.2.1

I have a 3G iPhone, running iOS 4.2.1.
In the previous iOS, when I had the ipod playing something with cover art, and the phone was off, you could click the home button which would show you the track title etc with the cover art as the background image.
Now, with 4.2.1, I get the info but no artwork, just the wallpaper.
Is anyone else having this issue with the 3G? (I know it works as it should with iPhone 4.)

I had this same issue. Restart your iPhone. This should fix it, though if you add more music you'll need to restart again in order to have the album art display on the lock screen.

Time doesn't display when I close phone, record album does.

When I close my Style, I used to get a thirty second image of the time on the external screen. Now I get a picture of a record album. I don't have the music player running, and the clock's options don't lend any clues.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi kapntoad,
Does the same occur if you reinsert your battery and try again?

File Browser doesn't display when Flex page is opened via showModalDialog IE9 on 64-bit system

From a html page, we open a flex page using showModalDialog.
Once flex page is launched, we have a button to open windows file browser.
When you click on the button, windows file browser opens as expected.
However, if you use IE 9 on 64-bit machines, windows file browser does not open and IE crashes.
If you use other versions and even IE9 on 32-bit system, file browser dialog shows up correctly.
When examining in flex code, the call to FileReference object's browse() returns true so I'm assuming Flex code is thinking browse window is opened.
We do not want to use showModalessDialog, is there any other soltuions to this issue?
